Daily Kos Elections Polling Wrap: Raft of House polls amid very quiet presidential polling day

Perhaps we owe it to the "inter-convention" lull. Perhaps we owe it to the three-day holiday weekend.

Whatever the reason, if it weren't for a very quirky deluge of downballot polls in Florida, this would have been the quietest polling day in recent history. We did get another sign, however small, that the Republican National Convention failed to yield a bump for the Romney/Ryan team.
